TNC 124 straight-cut control for milling, drilling and boring machines

Not every machining task requires a contouring control and all the advanced features of a CNC machine. In many cases a straight cut control and the features offered on the TNC 124 are fully adequate. With the TNC 124 you don't have to write NC programs for simple manual machining tasks. You can move the machine axes either continuously with the axis buttons, or in jog increments if you have an electronic handwheel.
Or simply enter the target position and start axis motion with the touch of a key.

The TNC 124 takes into account the tool length and radius for up to 99 different tools. Standard cycles are provided for machining bolt hole circles and linear hole patterns as well as for the milling of rectangular pockets. For more complicated machining tasks or for series production you can generate an NC program with the TNC 124. This is done either by keying in the positions or by transferring the actual positions directly into the program (teach-in mode). The TNC 124 can store up to 20 programs and a total of 2000 program blocks. If you need even more program memory, the data interface enables you to use an external storage device. The programs you create are executed by the TNC either block by block or automatically (full sequence). The feed rate override control allows you to adjust the programmed feed rate depending on the momentary machining conditions. The TNC 124 is easy to use and features on-screen operating instructions (HELP) to assist you when you're not sure how to proceed. Other support features include a cutting data calculator, pocket calculator and stopwatch.
